Eve Whitaker


Name: Eve Whitaker

D.O.B: 28/07/2005

Hometown: Harrogate

Sport: Running

I first got into running when I was about 4 doing my local fell races in Ilkley and the local Yorkshire Dales. Although I finished consistently last, I was always inspired by the older girls winning chocolate Easter eggs and so wanted to follow suit. Now every spare weekend is spent on the occasionally dry hilltop in the Lake District or racing in the hills.

Running in the hills gives me a sense of freedom from daily life and the feeling of being out and finding beautiful places is amazing.

My goals for the future are to keep running as well as possible, I hope to earn a GB vest for mountain running and travel the world racing in other mountains.

Which Scarpa shoe is your favourite?

The Ribelle Run has been really comfortable on the local moorlands whilst keeping a great grip on the soggy bogs.

Any day out with my family in the Lake District or Scottish mountain tops.

What do you do away from your sport?

Anything active, I also do triathlons so love swimming especially in open water and also love baking cakes for after runs.
